OMGPOP Founder Had Only $1,700 To His Name When His Company Sold For $180 Million

If you're toiling away at a low-paying job with a dwindling bank account hoping for your big break, here's a bit of inspiration: Charles Forman, founder of iPhone game maker OMGPOP, was living paycheck to paycheck last week, and now he's a multimillionaire.

“I had $1,700 in my bank account yesterday, and now I have a whole lot more,” he said.

OMGPOP sold for $180 million last Wednesday with a reported additonal $30 million earnout. Forman wouldn't reveal how much of the sale went into his own pocket, but he said it was "way more" than $22 million.

“It’s the kind of money where I’ll be wearing whatever I want when somebody invites me to a wedding,” he said.

So there you have it aspiring millionaires of the app economy. After 35 failed to middling endeavors, you too may be able to afford a nice suit (or ten).
